2 days sober and hoping to continue
I realize my life is so much better when I am not drinking. I am so much happier and love life. But like so many of us, I drink and it leads to much work thinks. I hope to enjoy day 3 tomorrow and make it continue.

It's amazing how much better you view the world when you are sober. It makes you think why did I drink. I am happy go lucky and when I drink I become a lazy, non motivated person. I look forward to share on the SR boards and working hard to being sober tomorrow and each day after.

Thanks Dee and I am glad to be here. I have been on the board before but need to make being sober a priority in my life. I am so tired of drinking alone on the weekends in bed half the time just b/c....what a waste of life.

Yes. I have done an Intensive Outpatient Program before and looking into another one at nights in addition to AA. I also am taking Natrexone again which I feel helps. Also doing various cognitive work my DR and books. I am one of the most positive people out there but when I drink I am a boring bum.

Thanks. I luckily live in a major city so hope to find some good meetings. I just need to get over the hump and get support aside from my DR, parents and ex girlfriend. I know I can get there but need to treat it as a challenge. Luckily I can to my parents house any time I struggle since they know ALL my hiding strategies.

Thanks and I totally agree. Stopping has to come from inside and you have to want it. I am starting to learn that it has to be a constant thought. I do a lot of cognitive therapy reading and you have to learn how to retrain your brian.
